This is a visual description of the forces of nature. Creation and destruction.

Nice work, especially the detail of a lens flare as the pencil flips. :wink:

I loved it. Just it's too long, I mean, with 30 seconds of video it's more than sufficient.

Thanks for looking,
I don't know,selgin. It's one of those things where it has to run slightly over time in order to become disturbing. I though it just had to go over that comfort zone of 30 seconds.

Cool idea, Durand and v nice delivery.
I understand the length in the context of the infinity symbol.
Maybe if it were on its side, I actually saw an 8 until I thought about it.
Or a series of images with a linear thread that leads to the infinity loop as part of a narrative equation? :idea:

Wow, we just need Genete to post and we'd have all of the animated avatars, I think. Sorry, OT.

Chucky,
I was probably working on impulse, rather than analytically. I think you are correct though, as I know selgin is about the length, for that matter. Maybe if I make extra chapters or scenes as prequels and cut this first one down to fit as a final sequence it might work.....

Ha Ha.....Surely there must be more animated avatars hiding out there?
:shock:
